Re: And non issues for others.
Just throwing this out here as a tidbit I am aware of regarding the Pancreas. In designing his own regimen that healed his own late-stage cancer of the (primarily) liver and pancreas, William D Kelley believed that most cancers have their origin in a malfunction of the pancreas. His diagnosis came from orthodoxy, they termed him "terminal" and sent home to die within 2 months give or take. He then developed a mostly diet-based regimen that healed his cancers. Along the way, he developed a belief that most of us (our bodies, internally) experience biolgical activity on a daily basis that is the precursor to developing cancer, however, as long as the person has a pancreas that is functioning as designed, it generates responses (secretions... various pancreatins, I think) that destroy these precursors. This is how he describes what normal health generaly is supposed to be for the average person. He believed that the average person who developed cancer is a person that had developed a malfunctioning pancreas.
All this said, what the bleep do I know? Speaking for myself, what I know is that a person such as Kelley who came up with a method to heal his own terminal cancer deserved to be heeded, to be listened to just in case he truly knew a bit of what he spoke. The flip side is that health care practitioners who's methods generally yield approximately 1 in 10 chance of surviving cancer PLUS surviving their treatment of the cancer deserve to be listened too roughly 90 % less than Kelley deserved.
